We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Laser Diode",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Next generation 808nm laser diode bars from
Bookham, which we summarised at the time by saying "At Photonics West 2008, Bookham will show the first products from the new platform that will enable higher efficiency and increased power resulting in reduced energy consumption and thermal
loads".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Sanyo laser diode catalogue is free to download from
Photonic Products: "The new Sanyo laser diode catalogue has just been released and can be downloaded free from the Photonic Products website".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Laser Components
concerning its FP-Hom series
- take a look at Less speckle in homogenous laser diode line lasers
which says: "Unlike lasers that use a cylindrical lens to generate a line, the power distribution of the FP-Hom series is homogenous, producing uniform power density across the whole length of the line".
Take a look also at the news release from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Chromatography), Ultra high-speed LDTD for large volume LC/MS,
as well as Semiconductor laser distribution in North America from Laser Components,
and Coherent buys high-power laser maker Nuvonyx from Coherent.
